Relativity

[makes_you_tick]

Active day on the Network, today. Mother, I've been affected by the curse, just to warn you.

I found myself at the library rather frequently lately- I do love the books it gives me sometimes. The books are always amazing, usually from worlds I've never even heard of. It takes me awhile to even sort out what they're talking about half the time. I think the last one was about hippogriff mannerisms. It's almost enough to keep me distracted. Almost.

I try to make sure all my time is filled. I'm always doing something, because I can't stop, not unless I'm sleeping. Even then, I wonder if my mind is working out things on its own. That's good, I've had a great deal to think about lately. Reform's not meant to be easy, I suppose. Still, I wonder whether I'm making progress, or if the rest of my world is slipping backwards.

private to Mohinder;

Mohinder. I can only imagine your hunger's come back, which means you've had to hunt. How's that been going?

Hello there, Claire. I see you managed to avoid the curse today.

[adamantined]

You didn't.

[makes-you-tick.livejournal.com]

I don't suppose I should've expected to miss it the third time 'round.

Of course, Eden. Should I bring it over to you?

I can't. I can't do it any more.

But I've got to.

[makes-you-tick.livejournal.com]

What's happened, Mohinder? How many have you gone after, so far?

Has it gotten any worse?

private;

[orderonto]

Seven or so. Not all of them successfully. Which is the problem. I never wanted to do this.

The scales are still spreading. It isn't stopping.

Seven? You work so quick

How many got away? Could they identify you?

I thought you said the changes were slowing down.

[makes-you-tick.livejournal.com]

I assume this is you? They know the attacks are related.

[ooc: he just noticed this, apologies for the add-on comment!]

Better to measure progress by your own measure, rather than those around you.

[makes-you-tick.livejournal.com]

My own measure has proven faulty more than once. Unfortunately, objectivity is hard to find in this place.

i still can't stop giggling at her. ^^;;;

[cold_dry_pieces]

Objectivity is something of a myth, really. Moreso here, though, I'll agree, where reality changes on a daily basis.

If you don't mind me asking, what is it you're trying to reform from?

[dreamsofnoah]

You too~?

Mm, it's hard to have something to do all the time, isn't it?

[makes-you-tick.livejournal.com]

Me, too. Guess I couldn't keep avoiding it.

It is. I really do like to keep busy.

[dreamsofnoah]

How do you manage it?

I imagine she'd be less impressed. >_>

[makes-you-tick.livejournal.com]

You think so? Thank you. I'm sure there's a long road ahead, but I just have to keep working on it.

[reginagloriae]

Only you can measure your progress, Gabriel. In which sense do you think it's lacking?

[makes-you-tick.livejournal.com]

Ah, but when I measured my progress before, it was in lives taken. I don't know if I'm a good objective reference.

I think my progress is lacking in the sense that redemption may be entirely impossible, that progress cannot ever really be made.

How many lives have you taken? The less, the better I would say.

Is it? Then move into actively help to save lives.
